The magazine has become far too "out there", much as D&D itself has. I no longer want to read about new unbalenced Prestige Classes and Feats, nor does or ever has my world been populated with the innumerable strange, half-breed combos, and bordering on Sci-fi races I have seen lately. I prefer my fantasy to be more traditional and less a  "Gee Whiz Video Game" feel, and stopped buying the magazine when it no longer gave me the solid historical information and practical application it used to in the 1st edition "Glory Days". That is also the time I swtiched to HARP instead of D&D. More rules and rules options do not necessarily make a better game IMHO.     That being said I DO miss the magazine. It was a monthly staple in my house for all those years - heck, I even had four articles published in it's pages, which thrilled me to no end. But, unless there are major changes that make it once again as useful to non-D&D players as it was, I will not bother to pick it up again.     TGryph</blockquote>
